Analytical Dead-Band Compensation for ZCS Modulation Applied to Hybrid Si-SiC Dual Active Bridge
This paper proposes a triangular modulation with zero current switching (ZCS) for a hybrid Si-SiC isolated bidirectional DC-DC converter (IBDC). Three of the four legs in the IBDC operate at ZCS and use Si IGBTs, while the fourth operates at zero voltage
